For instance his old friends the Cheneys were probably upset to read what Colin really thinks about them:

“[The Cheneys] are idiots and spent force peddling a book that ain’t going nowhere.”

Meow. And this about Cheney, Rumsfeld and his old boss George H. W. Bush:

“One day when we both have had too many drinks we can discuss why [President George W. Bush] tolerated [Donald Rumsfeld] and why Dick [Cheney], a successful SecDef, was so committed to Don. I must say I gagged as [President George H.W. Bush] praised him as the ‘best’ at the statuary hall unveiling.”

Gag him with a spoon.

And that Hillary Clinton is such a total screw up:

“Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.”

And she's just such a loser:

"I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect. A 70-year-old person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home (according to the NYP)."

"Hillary has not been covering here [sic] self with glory. For good reason she comes across as sleazy."

She's actually 68 but it's clear he thinks the decrepit crone is on her last legs:

"On HD tv she doesn't look good. She is working herself to death."

He's quite the nasty little bitch for a four star general, isn't he? (You would think he'd show some empathy for poor old Bill's reported "dicking" after his own indiscretion was splashed all over the tabloids.)

But while he may like totally gag at the idea of voting for that old bag, it's Donald Trump who really makes him want to hurl:

“Ailes as an advisor wont heal women, don’t you think?"

"Yup, the whole birther movement was racist. That’s what the 99% believe. When Trump couldn’t keep that up he said he also wanted to see if the certificate noted that he was a Muslim.”

“To go on and call him an idiot just emboldens him.”

“Trump has no sense of shame.”

"Trump is a national disgrace"

"I am back from Bohemian Grove. Surprise, surprise. I sat next to Stephen Harper a couple of time and had a nice discussion. Grove attendees know that Trump is a disaster. Most will vote against bit quite a few will not vote for Hillary and will vote for a third party candidate."

(If you're not familiar with Bohemian Grove, it's an exclusive gathering in California of the most important men in the world each July. No women allowed, natch.)

You might think that since Powell feels so strongly about Trump he would endorse Clinton as he did President Obama if only out of patriotism since Trump is a such a "disaster." But that doesn't look likely. And that's because what really has the General's panties in a bunch was the fact that Hillary Clinton had cited his advice to her about how to deal with emails when she joined the State department. He was fit to be tied that they even mentioned his name because he so didn't tell her she should use private email and it's just so exasperating that she told the FBI that she had talked to him about it. It's like she was trying to say that he was just like her and, oh my God, that's just so bogus.
